NICK - No Happiness or not deserving to have a happy life.
OTHERS - Should have their happiness and live happily ever after.
Poor Nick, well that is your prerogative.
Since you're saying Nick deserves happiness.....who is responsible for rewarding him with happiness?
I could say this too...Who is responsible for rewarding Monroe and Co with happiness if you are saying they deserve happiness and not Nick?
I'm not. What I'm saying is that you are phrasing this incorrectly. The question should be: Are people *entitled* to happiness? The answer is no. People are not entitled to happiness.
Let me put it differently. If Nick wants to go beat someone to a pulp because that makes him happy, is he entitled to do that? Use the word deserve if you want. Can Nick go beat the crap out of someone because he deserves to be happy? No way.
I think you should rephrase correctly....
Your first paragraph is more focused on real life in general, since it is no one in particular but the word People.
Quote:I'm not. What I'm saying is that you are phrasing this incorrectly. The question should be: Are people *entitled* to happiness? The answer is no. People are not entitled to happiness.
Your second paragraph is focused on the show being it a fantasy to the super natural world.
Quote:Let me put it differently. If Nick wants to go beat someone to a pulp because that makes him happy, is he entitled to do that? Use the word deserve if you want. Can Nick go beat the crap out of someone because he deserves to be happy? No way.
The 2 paragraphes do not coincide. 1 super natural to a show, the other in general real life.
Though to avoid confusion...
Yes to the real world. People do and should deserve happiness.
Regarding the show Grimm, Why not? Nick should deserve happiness, he has longed for it and it is his choice to make and no ones.
Well, not to split hairs here, but you yourself were doing some combining of real and fantasy not so many posts ago.
However, in deference, I will stick to fantasy and repeat that the characters in Grimm are not entitled to happiness. Even in the show, happiness is not some magic bundle deposited on their doorstep when someone does something positive, like Monroe giving up humans for dinner. That does not immediately and irrevocably mean that Monroe deserves happiness.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
